ABSTRACT
As urbanization increases, urban runoff becomes an increasingly more important component of urban
non-point pollution. In this study, the Storm Water Management Model was used to simulate the quantity
and quality of runoff in a highly urbanized catchment. Data from three rainfall events were collected and
used for model calibration and validation. Model performance was assessed using the Nash-Sutcliffe
coefficient, relative error, and coefficient of determination. The modified Morris screening method was
used for local sensitivity analysis. Sensitivity analysis results showed that the destore imperv and condit
roughness parameters had the most influence on the hydrology and hydraulic module. Road exponent was
the most sensitive parameter in determining TSS quantity and peak concentration. The calibration and
verification results indicated that the model structure and parameters fitted the runoff-producing pattern.
The total simulation accuracies of TSS, TN, TP, and COD loads, as assessed by the R2 value, were 0.82,
0.87, 0.72, and 0.94, respectively.
